There were several personal records, and Mecca noted Cullen Becher just missed automatically qualifying for state in the 1,600 by .08 seconds.
If the weather holds out this weekend, Mecca hopes to see the full Bobcat team competing Saturday. This will bring additional relay teams for the boys and girls, and the coach looks forward to having everyone on full time at practices and upcoming meets. The Bobcats will next head to Riverton on Saturday, April 16 for the Roy Peck Invite.
